Chapter 579: Visit

Regarding Ali's mess, Xiao Fei didn't care anymore.

Before the summer vacation, Xiao Fei still has an important thing to do.

Well! He wants to visit the judges of the Mao Award in advance and present them with all his works for them to point out and see.

The judges of the Mao Award are not fixed, but change a lot every year.

In his previous life, Xiao Fei had carefully studied the list of judges for each session and was deeply impressed by this.

Now, the jury of the 5th Mao Award has not yet been established, that is to say, the judges have not yet been decided, and the domestic literary circle does not know who the judges are for this year.

Xiao Fei is different.

The list of judges for the 5th Mao Award was imprinted in his mind.

Now that you know who the judges are in advance, why don't you go to meet first, get acquainted with each other, and have a relationship? After all, some judges may not have read their own books before becoming judges.

I sent it over respectfully, and let them have a deep and good impression of themselves first.

For this Mao Award, Xiao Fei is determined to win.

He doesn't allow any unfavorable factors to affect his odds of winning the Mao Prize in the end. It's better to become famous as soon as possible, and to win awards as soon as possible!

Xiao Fei himself sometimes feels that his utilitarian spirit is not too strong.

But then he thought about it, it is normal to be born as a human being and have a utilitarian mind, right? The world is propelled forward by human desires!

Thinking about it like this, he was relieved.

As mentioned earlier, the judges of the Mao Award are divided into three parts.

One part is well-known literary critics and scholars, one part is award-winning writers or literary celebrities, and the other part is the leading officials of the Chinese Writers Association.

A list of Mao Award judges, at a glance, you will find that most of these judges are in Beijing, which is still quite concentrated.

Xiao Fei first visited the professors of this university.

Professors from the Department of Chinese at Peking University, such as Mr. Cao Zizheng and Mr. Yan Jiayan, were judges of the 5th Mao Award.

Cao Zizheng needless to say. I'm quite familiar with Xiao Fei.

But Xiao Fei is not familiar with Yan Jiayan, this gentleman is not only a famous literary critic, he is also a very famous writer, and has written a lot of excellent works.

Mr. Yan is a very hardworking person and rarely participates in social activities.

Xiao Fei took his books and took the liberty to visit Yan Jiayan.

Yan Jiayan received Xiao Fei in his study, and he was still very surprised by Xiao Fei's visit. He had little to do with the school's most famous student.

But he still admires Xiao Fei's works.

Yan Jiayan was also very happy about Xiao Fei's arrival, and talked to Xiao Fei and Yan Yue for a long time.

Yan Jiayan gladly accepted Xiao Fei for bringing so many of his own books to himself, and said with a smile that he actually bought every one of Xiao Fei's books, and now he has Xiao Fei's life and death fatigue on the bedside, and he reads some before going to bed every night. I have learned a lot.

Yan Jiayan brought the "Life and Death Fatigue" next to his pillow and flipped it to Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei found that every page of this book was written in a beautiful book, which turned out to be Yan Jiayan's reading notebook.

Obviously, Yan Jiayan read this book with the purpose of research, and he read it extremely carefully and meticulously.

This made Xiao Fei very moved.

Yan Jiayan told Xiao Fei that he planned to write a review monograph on Xiao Fei's "Life and Death Fatigue".

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, thank you so much. Then I'll wait to read your magnum opus. ”

When Xiao Fei said goodbye and went out, he said with a smile.

The next few days. In addition to exams, he traveled all over the capital, bringing his books to visit famous writers.

Several of the judges are in their 80s.

When Xiao Fei came to visit, he was warmly received by the old writers, and he was extremely happy that Xiao Fei gave them books.

They told Xiao Fei. "Brothers" is not very well written, and the plot in it seems a little vulgar and vulgar, but the story is still good and easy to read.

"Fatigue of Life and Death" is one of Xiao Fei's creative pinnacles.

An old writer told Xiao Fei that he would have a lifetime. It is quite gratifying to see such a masterpiece as "Life and Death Fatigue".

They encouraged Xiao Fei to write in a higher style and be more innovative, and strive to write works of the same grade as "Life and Death Fatigue" in the future.

The words of the old writers made Xiao Fei also put a snack.

It seems that he was right to drive out "Fatigue of Life and Death", and it is really possible that he will be ignored by the judges of the Mao Award only by relying on "Bright Sword", "Fish Walking on Land", and "Brothers".

Two or three of these future Mao Award judges are frequent visitors to the Mao Award judges.

Like Mr. Zheng Bonong.

When Xiao Fei visited his home, Mr. Zheng naturally received him warmly, but the tacit look between his eyebrows made Xiao Fei a little surprised.

However, he immediately threw this negative emotion aside.

It's nothing if my own careful thinking is recognized, and as a junior, it is also appropriate for me to come and visit the seniors in the literary world, right?

Moreover, Zheng Bonong is also a famous scholar in the field of literary criticism, serving as the deputy editor-in-chief of "Literary Theory and Criticism" and the editor-in-chief of "Literature and Art Daily".

It's normal to bring your work to him and ask him for advice.

Xiao Fei sat at Zheng Bonong's house for half an hour.

The old gentleman told Xiao Fei that he had become a phenomenon in the Chinese literary circle, and it was impossible for anyone who engaged in literary criticism to bypass Xiao Fei.

It is not easy for a young writer of serious literature to continue to sell well and gain universal recognition from readers.

He believes that Xiao Fei is actually carrying the literary banner of the younger generation by himself and striding forward.

It is precisely because of the emergence of a Xiao Fei that the continuous downturn in literature since the 90s will be slightly alleviated.

The old gentleman said, if I can continue to serve as a judge for this year's Mao Award, I will definitely vote for you, and the future of Chinese literature will depend on you young people to support the field.

I have to say that Xiao Fei's concentrated visit played an obvious role.

My Great China has always been a personal society.

The relationship between people is too important.

For a high-end award like the Mao Award, although the judges are all respected literary figures, their quality is also very high.

However, if the works of two writers are of the same level, one is familiar and close to them, and the other is unfamiliar and has never intersected, let them choose.

The result is undoubted!

It must be that the former is more likely to win, even if the level of the former's work is slightly worse, it is the same result!

This is why Xiao Fei has a good relationship with these judges early. (To be continued.) )
